Mansoor Ali Khan
Indian National Congress·Rajya Sabha MP from Karnataka
I am a Member of Parliament from Karnataka, in the Rajya Sabha. This office is here to raise the state’s concerns at the national level, and to be honest about what it can and cannot do.
What this office can do for Karnataka
A member of the Rajya Sabha does not run a department or order a road built. What this office can do is carry the state’s concerns to the national level, on the record, and stay honest about the limits.
Raise it in Parliament
A question in the House puts your concern on the public record, where national decisions and money are settled.
Write to the ministry
A letter to a Union ministry gives a problem a paper trail and a clear next step, not just a promise.
Connect it to accountability
A local problem can be tied to national accountability, with follow-up on what people send in.
What he will raise for Karnataka
The concerns he means to carry to the national level, where the funding and the decisions sit. The list grows as the work does.
Bengaluru and Karnataka
The transport, water and housing a fast-growing state needs, and the Union funding to build it.
Karnataka’s fair share
Tax devolution, central scheme money and disaster relief: a fair return on what the state sends the Union.
Education, youth and jobs
Scholarships, skilling, fair examinations, and the jobs a young workforce was promised.
Equal citizenship
The rights, welfare and dignity the Constitution guarantees every citizen, defended plainly.
Clean elections
Trustworthy rolls, transparent verification, and clear public answers from the Election Commission.
I will try to represent in public.
A politician’s work mostly happens out of public view. Mansoor means to do as much of his in the open as he can, so you can see it, argue with it, and hold him to it.
Positions, before they are final
His research and policy positions are published as he forms them, open to scrutiny and correction, rather than handed down once they are settled.
What the office can, and cannot, do
A plain public account of what a Rajya Sabha MP is able to take up, and what falls outside the role, so nobody's time is wasted.
A record on the public file
What he raises, questions and pursues in Parliament, documented and tied to the official record, from the first day.
How a problem gets handled
A concern that reaches this office gets worked from the facts, not the noise. It is the habit of the Karnataka Congress Research Department, which he ran for years.
“I listen, I try to understand the real problem, I find the bottleneck, and I work to solve it as efficiently as I can.”
Mansoor starts from the data, and works in the open, so you can see how your concern is handled.
“What sounds good and what actually works are often different things.”
“I care about the difference, and that will define how I work in Parliament.”
This is where the work begins.
For Karnataka. For India. For the Constitution.
